Why, Mr. Goddell?

You couldn't get Colin Kapernick to sing?

[jerod]

I assume they didn’t put this to a vote amongst the owners since it appears that most of them voted for Trump... He even made Woody an Ambassador.

Maybe Roger is hoping to get fired... In fact, it looks like he’s been trying to get fired for quite a while. They pay the dude 40 million a year and if they fire him they will likely need to give him severance in the 100 million dollar range.... And if he gets fired he won’t need to waste his time going to football games.

[yldstrk]

won’t be watching the half time show

[Uncle Sam 911]

I’m just shaking my head here at how tone deaf the NFL has become. It seems anything that is anti American, anti Trump/Pence is good for them. They are destroying the hand the feeds them. It can’t get any more bizarre.

[exit82]

In a real business, a CEO who is as much of a political hack as Goodell would be fired by the Board of Directors by now.

That he has not been fired shows you where the NFL really stands.

If NASCAR did this, they would be history by now.

To Goodell, it is about the agenda, not the game of football.

He cares not one whit about the fans.

IMHO, it is time American men grew up and stopped wearing numbered jerseys with someone else’s name on them.

I gave up watching professional sports in my 20s, almost 40 years ago.

These overpaid ball handlers care not one iota about any of you—witness Kapernick.

And neither does the head office.

Goodell has been a Left agenda supporter for years.

Why reward any of them with your hard earned dollars?

[albie]

Without a doubt, to make a point. What’s next? Hillary throws out the first pitch next baseball season?

[Sir Napsalot]

Thank you for the warning, yet another reason I won’t be watching SB.

[connyankee]

The cast of Hamilton (the Broadway play which insulted our vice-president and lectured him as if they know better) will be performing The National Anthem at this year’s Superbowl. Apparently people think that just because these Ultra Progressive actors are playing the roles of our forefathers, they actually have the values and brains of our forefathers. They do not! They sing and they dance and they tear our country down - THAT is who they are! They are not Hamilton et al. In my estimation, any organization that would support the level of disrespect and ill regard for our elected officials that these facists showed VP Mike Pence and his children is not worthy of my time, my energy or frankly any level of Interest.

The same goes for anyone who sponsors this ridiculous game. I’m hoping that you will all reconsider (if you were already going to watch) and not watch this game and spread this word around. We cannot turn a blind eye to our values just because it may be the easy thing to do and think “what difference would it make if I watch the Superbowl?” It makes a lot of difference because the more people the tune in, the more they get away with the constant disrespect of our flag, our values, our president or vice-president and the list goes on and on. The more we watch the commercials and buy the products that sponsor these events, the longer they will be in business and that list goes on and on..... food for thought. Thank you very much.

Here is the gist of their lecture to Pence. I’ve little doubt they will make some statement in a similar vein.

---

Just before the end of the performance, Pence, surrounded by Secret Service, exited the theater. The Vice President-elect was then asked by actor Brandon Victor Dixon to listen to his lecture about how a “diverse America” is “alarmed and anxious” about the incoming Trump administration.

“We, sir — we — are the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights,” Dixon said as Pence exited the building.

[major-pelham]

A beautiful song sung by great singers is a good thing. Two minutes.

They, like almost all artsy people, are lefties. I’m OK with it if they say nothing and just sing. Do we think lefties will be able to avoid the temptation to bloviate ?

[Rebelbase]

Kaepernick is going to sing the National Anthem.

[xp38]

I plan to channel surf most likely be here on FR and maybe if the game looks interesting around 9-9:30 eastern time watch. That will be long past the Gaga caca and these Hamilton “guys”.

What, no Beyonce???

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

August 30, 2016
FoxNews.com

“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Will they then lecture the football fans on what an inclusive nation this is?

[RoseofTexas]

we should DEMAND THEY CANCEL THEM just like the asses forced all the inauguration singers to cancel! Hitting them in the pocketbook doesn’t work anymore because they have an agenda, anyways if boycotting threats work you would see them canceling Lady Gaga and these buttholes. The football commissioner is making a statement using them because of Brady and the patriots coach supporting of Trump...the commissioner needs to be threaten! Nice words don’t work anymore with these anti-patriotism anti-America anti-trump pukes!! Get ready for an onslaught of nothing but stabs at Trump in this Super Bowl! It’ll be something we have never witnessed in the past Super Bowl’s ever!! I guarantee you somewhere there will be commercials slamming our president too! Mark it!!!

[Lazamataz]

Do you remember, back in the Good Old Days, when football was an American sport?

[CWW]

So the NFL is intent on committing suicide!😖😡😟😠😤😫😩😒

[Daveinyork]

yawn. I’m not watching the superbowl, wasn’t planning to, haven’t watched one in at least five years

[RegulatorCountry]

Good. Most of the country will get to see what an insipid, derivative “Glee” ripoff this purportedly historical musical actually is. Makes me think of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade some years back, when PC was running fully amok. They prominently featured a bunch of people dressed as vegetables dancing around singing “Food, wonderful food.” Well, yes, people do eat on Thanksgiving, it does play a prominent role. However, the food isn’t the reason. Hamilton is like that.

[New Jersey Realist]

Even though I really like the Patriots I will not watch the game live. I’ll tape it and skip over the ads and the pageantry...just pure football like watching a High School game and hope no one reveals the score!
